MEXICO WANTS PEACE!
It is said that 1 out 3 Mexicans have been victims of crimes, out of those crimes only a very small percentage has been punished.
It's on live right now, thousands of persons are arriving to EL Zocalo dressed in white and will light candles as a protest against crime and impunity in Mexico.
El Zocalo will not be enough to hold them all, more than a million are expected. They might have to stay at Paseo the La Reforma Avenue where tha march started from The Angel of Independence.
Marches are being held throughout Mexico to protest against a wave of killings, kidnappings and shootouts sweeping the nation.
The rallies are being held in each of Mexico's 32 states, with up to 500,000 people expected in the capital Mexico City alone, organisers say.
Ciudad de México Sábado 30 de agosto de 2008
18:21La vanguardia de la marcha Iluminemos México llegó al zócalo a las 18:10 hrs. conformadas por personas que partieron antes de las 16:00 horas de Paseo de la Reforma hacia la plaza de la Constitución.
En silencio miles de personas vestidas de blanco, algunos con pancartas escritas con consignas rechazando la violencia, comenzaron a acomodarse en la plancha del zócalo.
